A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.

March 8th is International Women’s Day and this year’s hashtag Choose to Challenge is asking how we will help to forge a gender equal world. WVPU’s Working Group for Equal Opportunity, in collaboration with all academic departments, is organizing a number of events that will consider and discuss this question in various contexts throughout the first week of March.

From the Business & Management Department: The Persistence of Gender Stereotypes at Work

Student Lara Jenko sits down with Dr. Zedlacher to discuss her research on gender stereotypes in the workplace, why they’re so persistent, and what we can do about them.

Each day of the Road to International Women’s Day will feature an event presented by one of WVPU's academic departments, culminating in a Panel Discussion titled Women and the Pandemic on Friday, March 5th 2021.

Tuesday: Asylum and Refuge from a Gender Perspective

Wednesdy: Researching Gender in Media Communications

Thursday: Women and Mental Health

Friday: Women and the Pandemic - Panel discussion

Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.
